Such people rubs the skin and thus the eye area causing irritation. Forceful rubbing causes a lot of damages to the underlying skin such as broken capillary, increased swelling and inflammation and release of various toxic cytokines. This cytokines repeat the vicious cycle if allergy, itching and rubbing and damage. Over a longer period, the skin acquired a rough, thickened texture and darker pigmentation.

All allergy causes vascular congestion around the eye, making worst if they rub.

Your bone structure relative to the surrounding tissue position could be to blame of Eye Circle.

The bony structure of the skull around the eye, the eye socket might be responsible for the appearance of eye circle. For those with deep tear trough under their eye, due t the light reflection and how it can create shadow on the indentation/ depression is sufficient to gives an illusion of eye circle. But in actual fact the skin pigmentation nor the vessels or blood circulation is at fault. In such a case, a simple obliteration of the tear trough by way of filler to even out the place is all that is required to treat.

This is most relevant when talking about eye bag fat that protrudes forward, and the tear trough where the cheek fat pad slides down. Corrective surgeries and fillers can alleviate the issues.

Thin skin is the result of aging causing Eye Circle

A very thin skin will allows the underlying skin color be seen easily, be it reddish, or purplish or bluish causing Eye Circle. Thin skin is more transparent and allow the color to show up. While we were younger we may not have the dark eye circle problem. But as we age the problem of dark eye circle starts to appears and become worst over the years.

Veins can give you a blue tint causing Eye Circle

Peri-orbital area, i.e. around the eye, there are a lot of vessels, particularly the bluish large veins. These veins carry deoxygenated blood and hence gives a tint of dark coloration, the eye circle. There is nothing wrong with the skin color. A simple application of concealer is sufficient to settle the issue of Eye Circle.

Over exposure to the sun automatically increases the melanin cell production and the density of the pigment melanin around the eye causing Eye Circle. In so doing, the overall complexion becomes darker but the skin around the eye are very delicate and thin, which increases pigment at rate and intensity more than the surrounding. Hence, a darker eye circle. When the body gets heated up, the blood vessels dilate with increased blood flow. The vessels will show up first due to thin skin. The skin shows a reddish glow initially. Over prolonged period when the melanin starts to build up, the color becomes darker.

Iron deposition, especially from bruises causing Eye Circle

Any pigment deposition by any minerals will also give the discoloration to the area. This gives a pigmented look of a darker circle, Eye Circle.

Slow blood circulation causing Eye Circle

The people with mostly sedentary lifestyle, the blood circulation tends to be slow and shows the dark deoxygenated blood. Vascular congestion causes more enlarged vessel and darker colored blood to be seen under the skin, the Eye Circle.

Lower oxygenation level causing Eye Circle

Smoker typically has a darker lips. This is due to pigment build-up or the smoker’s blood has a lower oxygen concentration not only around the lips but also the eye, the Eye Circle.
